A Public Prosecutor Needed,
The unsaliafactory termination of
the Teterboro election trial shows
how urgently the present methods of
enforcing the Election Act need to be
revised, To tamper with an election
unquestionably is a public crime, The
bribing of electors, the manipulation
of honest ballots that have been cast,
all the schemes devised by clever rax-
cafe to prevent the opinion of the
majority from prevailing, are offences
against the public welfare, and should
be punished by the public. The cor-
ruption of an elector should be punish-
ed by the State just as assault and
battery on the same man would be.
The stealing of an elootor's vote should
be prevented by the State even as the
stealing of bis pocketbook. Yet the
State does nothing of the sort. It
treats the right to sit in Parliament
as private property, and if one candi-
date thinks that he is cheated he can
sue for redress; he has to pay the cost
of the lawsuit, and the whole thing is
conducted on the same basis as if it
were a real estate deal, and as if the
right to be an M. P. and the right to
possess a given corner lot were on the
salve footing.
The natural result is that the politi-
cal parties which sue each other for
seats in the House of Commons be-
have just as ordinary litigants do.
They push proceedings when it will
pay them, and drop them when they
will not pay them ; they compromise
when it is to their advantage to do so,
and they no more consider the In-
terests of public morality than do two
men who are at law over a corner lot.
The public makes no complaint when
the men who are sueing each other
over real estate transactions come to
terms, but when the two parties effect
a saw -off there is an outcry. Unques-
tionably the saw -off, and such unsatis-
factory affairs as the Peterboro, where
there are numerous allegations of bri-
bery, where there manifestly is gross
perjury, and where there is a com-
promise, are bad for the country ; but
as the country is not spending its own
money, and as the party politicians
concerned are obliged to rely upon
their own bank account, it is hard to
say how the public can blame them.
The only way out is to adopt Mr. R.
L. Borden's proposal that the State
should take the matter in charge. He
has long advocated the appointment
of a Public Prosecutor for elections.
Let a man of high character and of
satisfactory impartiality be appoint-
ed ; let him be given a status like that
of the Auditor -General, so as to be in-
dependent of pressure from either
party ; and let him be charged with
the duty of watching all elections and
of intervening and prosecuting when-
ever there is reason to suspect impro-
prieties. Mr. Borden incorporated
this plan in his Halifax platform, and
urged it in his public addresses. In
the House of Commons he repeatedly
urged the Government to adopt it.
• Sir Wilfrid Laurier refused to accept
his suggestion, and as a result we are
still going on in the old way, treating
a seat in Parliament as private pro-
perty to be fought for, litigated over
and compromised about like any other
piece of property. Mr. Borden's idea
is a good one.

Successful Exhibitor.
The most successful exhibitor of
cheese this fall at the leading exhibi-
tions was R. A. Thompson, of Atwood,
who won sweepstakes at . Toronto,
with a snore of 981 points ; also two
firsts and the sweepstakes at Ottawa,
and a prize in each of four sections
at London. The factory where these
cheese were made has a cool -curing
room, and pasteurizes its whey.
A Fine Fish.
Recently, in Lake of Bays district,
Mr. J. A. Buckneil, manager, Canada
Life Assurance Company,' Montreal,
was successful in landing a twenty
pound lake trout. The fish was three
feet in length and was landed with
a six -ounce rod which took him, how-
ever, an hour and fifty-five minutes to
land the fish. This specimen has been
mounted and is now on display in the
City Ticket Office of the Grand Trunk
Railway Co., Montreal.

functions upon which health depends
—makes the purest, richest blood,

vigor. Every girl and woman who
seeks health, vitality, looks—let her
get Ferroznne today. Fifty cent box-
es at all dealers.
Cement Goes Up.
Since the organization of the Cem-
ent Co.'s combine, the price of cement
has advanced about 30 cts. a barrel.
It was repeatedly stated that cement
manufacturing was a losing proposi-
tion at former prices and it was hinted
that prices would be considerably
boosted by the combine. This course
was adopted without any delay what-
ever. When a combine desires to
raise prices, an excuse is not long
lacking, be it. good or not, It may
have been necessary in this case, but
it is not a good thing for the consum-
er, when competition ceases,

Take Comfort.
You never saw a beautiful woman
who didn't have beautiful hair. The
charms of a beantiful woman lie in her
hair. Many women do not realize the
attractions they possess because they
do not give proper attention to the
care of the hair.
The women of the "400" are famed
for their beauty, not because their
facial features are superior to those of
other women, but because they know
how to keep young by supplying vig-
or, lustre and strength to the hair.
Up to a few years ago Parisian Sage
could hardly be obtained in America,
But now this delightful hair restorer
con bo had in every town in America.
J. Walton McKibbon sells It hi Wing -
ham for 50 Cents a bottle, and he guar-
antees it to grow beautiful, luxuriant
hair; to turn dull, lifeless hale into
lustrous holt,: to stop falling hair; to
stop itching of the scalp. Understand
